The concept of attraction being related to survival of the species, or at least passing on of the genes, is not hard to believe when one thinks about the features people often find attractive.

Sweet Sweet Helium 6/1/21
the only element on the periodic chart that has yet to accept the terms of being a part of a compound. No matter what chemists do, no helium compounds have ever been made. What’s more, it’s the only element that has never solidified.
Radio 5/28/21
I’m sitting in a sub shop looking for underwater sea vessels as I have a stereo installed a few doors down. I don’t know why; I have no idea where I could even park a submarine
The Glassy State 5/17/21
molecules align themselves in a regular pattern, like people in a crowded orchestral concert. Shoulder to shoulder, there’s a pattern to where people are sitting as delineated by the chairs in the audience. Molecules tend to do the same thing in crystals
All the Stars in the Sky 5/14/21
By analyzing the color of objects hot enough to give off light, astrophysicists can ascertain the chemical composition of celestial bodies. But it’s a bit more. This same technique can be used to determine if the objects are getting closer, or further away, and how fast they are moving relative to us. This part gets really freaky.
Skylab 5/9/21
As I write this, I think about this Chinese booster rocket. If anybody is killed, this post will make me look like an insensitive jerk. I truly hope this doesn’t come to pass.
Polarized 5/2/21
A polarized lens, then, blocks out this plane of light. Since it only allows perpendicular plane light to pass, the parallel plane, the light from glare, is blocked. This is how polarized lenses work. Here is a fun side effect of this, though.
Explosive 5/1/21
The biggest difference between an explosion and the burning process is the shock wave. In the burning of fuel, it’s not just heat that is released (and a lot of it), but also gasses, primarily carbon dioxide and water vapor. When this happens in burning, the gases and heat are dispersed in a relatively slow process of diffusion (flow of gasses) and convection (flow of heat). But in an explosion, all of that heat, and all of those gasses, are suddenly created and exist in a volume far too small for stability.
All You Need 3/26/21
“All you need is the love of one good woman.” Okay, I agree, but what happens to those of us who don’t have what we need?
Fishy 3/25/20
Animals are basically filtration systems of their diet. They eat whatever it is that of which their diet consists, extracting out the nutrients and minerals and incorporate them into their own muscles which is what we call “meat”.
